What would a poll prove? That people would massively vote for you because you obviously have self esteem issues just to make you feel better about yourself even if they know I am senseful, courteous, considerate, a beacon of light, fair and just and, in a perfect world, a future mod?

Do you think the people that saw him defend all his titles are less biased than me? How about the douchebags that predicted a Calendar Year Golden Grand Slam? Not being a Nole fan allows me to see his achievements without wearing Nole tainted glasses (a dark shade of brown).

I don't worship him like a Golden Calf.

Obviously I dont want any poll. Just a metaphor.

So you think that a hater has a neutral perspective? Is that what you're honestly saying? Or perhaps you're not a hater?

BTW, I have many problems, "self-esteem issues" is not one of them. But this is not a chat thread.

The REALITY is that Federer is 39-2 on hardcourts since last September, and the holder of six HC titles; including two HC Masters + WTF. The REALITY is that Federer won the last Grand Slam and reached the final of the Olympics, whilst Djokovic lost in the semi-finals of both. And the REALITY is that Federer is the current World #1 and five-time US Open, four-time Cincinnati, and six-time World Tour Finals, champion. My sense of reality is just fine, thank you.

reality is that Roger has not beaten Novak on HC in 2 years and that Novak is a superior HC player than Roger at this point in their careers

Is it now? Who do I hate outside Nadal? You seem to hate Fed like there's no tomorrow. I've never seen you write anything else about the guy and most of your posts are about that . Most of my posts are about the maestro. I do troll the lost souls but that's part of the experience on MTF.

On winning DC and its overall importance in the discussion for all-time greats

The fact is, success in DC is largely determined by what country you come from or play for in the first place, which most players haven't had any control over.

Reality is that there is very little to separate them in a fast HC at this moment.

Well, if Muzzah wins the USO, all of the top 4 will have a slam each and he has the other highlight. He may not be the player of year but he would have the most craved titles. Then he's also good indoors. I'd love to see Muzzah win the USO with a good showing for Djokovic and Roger (a SF loss for Novak and a F for Roger) and then all three can head into a three-horse race for the #1. Wouldn't that be super exciting.

Obviously, you just read one of my sugar coating scenarios were RF to lose in the final of the USO.
